Title: My first "custom" keyboard
Post by: TeacherGeek on Tue, 04 June 2019, 06:52:59

I bought an 2nd hand Roccat and decided to customise it and whilst doing it thought I would make it for my gf.

She likes the clicky sound of razer greens, so I upcycled from an old blackwidow. Got some LEDs and very cheap PBTs from aliexpress.

Below are the results. Definitely happy in the end, but I could have been more careful with the spray painting and better quality keycaps would have gone a long way too.
